The influence of the influencers

The voice of our celebrities, and sometimes the absence of, has always been questioned and echoed by the masses. Current affairs, politics or social taboos – with digital media being the epicenter of social movements, the ripples are far heard bringing either attention to much-needed areas or a simmering change, at either state-level or within citizens. Mehwish Hayat has had a year brimming with social activism and a couple of weeks ago, she tweeted about the disorderly state of the facilities at Jinnah International Airport. Following her tweet, news from the authorities started to float about renovations. “I am so glad to hear this news about the renovations at Karachi airport after my raising this pertinent issue. It is great that the authorities have decided to take affirmative action,” the Goodwill Ambassador tweeted. She also shared an image of her social accounts wearing a mask and raising awareness about staying safe in the current outbreak of corona virus. It’s a breath of fresh air amid all the fake news and negativity that goes around online to see constructive change. – Eman
